ZEROING
Final sighting-in of your rifle should be done with live ammunition, based on your
expected shooting distance. If most of your shots will be at short range, zero-in at 100
yards. But, for long-range shooting at big game, most experienced shooters zero-in
about three inches high at 100 yards. Three-shot groups are useful for averaging the
point of impact.

EYEPIECE FOCUSING
The eyepiece is designed to provide a precise fast focus. The eyepiece will focus
faster than your eye can compensate for any inaccuracy in your adjustment.
Look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. Then, shift
your vision quickly, looking through the scope at a plain background. Turn the fastfocus eyepiece clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust to your eyes. The reticle
pattern should be sharp and clear before your eye can refocus. After you have made
your adjustment, with a quick glance re-check the image.
WARNING: NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH THE RIFLESCOPE (OR ANY
OTHER OPTICAL INSTRUMENT). IT MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR EYES.
MOUNTING
To achieve the best accuracy from your rifle, your Bushnell scope must be mounted
properly. (We strongly recommend that those unfamiliar with proper procedures
have the scope mounted by a qualified gunsmith). Should you decide to mount
it yourself:
1. Use a high-quality mount with bases designed to fit your particular rifle. The
scope should be mounted as low as possible without touching either the barrel
or the receiver.
2. Carefully follow the instructions packed with the scope mounts you have selected.
3. Before tightening the mount rings, look through the scope in your normal
shooting position. Adjust the scope (either forward or backward) until you find
the furthest point forward (to ensure maximum eye relief) that allows you to see
a full field of view.
WARNING: IF THE SCOPE IS NOT MOUNTED FAR ENOUGH FORWARD, ITS
REARWARD MOTION MAY INJURE THE SHOOTER WHEN THE RIFLE RECOILS.
4. Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle pattern is perpendicular to the bore
and the elevation adjustment is on top.
5. Tighten the mounting screws.
BORE SIGHTING
Bore sighting is a preliminary procedure to achieve proper alignment of the scope
with the rifles bore. It is best done using a Bushnell Bore Sighter. If a bore sighter
is not available, it can be done as follows: Remove the bolt and sight through the
gun barrel at a 100 yard target. Then sight through the scope and bring the cross
hairs to the same point on the target. Certain mounts have integral windage
adjustments and, when bore sighting, these should be used instead of the scopes
internal adjustments. If major elevation adjustments are needed, they should be
accomplished by shimming the mount base.
MAINTENANCE
Your Bushnell riflescope, though amazingly tough, is a precision instrument that
deserves reasonable cautious care.
1. When cleaning the lenses, first blow away any dirt and dust, or use a soft lens
brush. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with lens tissue, or a soft
clean cotton cloth, moistened with lens cleaning fluid.
WARNING: UNNECESSARY RUBBING OR USE OF A COARSE CLOTH MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO LENS COATINGS.
2. All moving parts of the scope are permanently lubricated. Do not try to
lubricate them.
3. No maintenance is needed on the scopes outer surface, except to occasionally
wipe off dirt or fingerprints with a soft cloth.
4. Use lens covers whenever convenient.
STORAGE
Avoid storing the scope in hot places, such as the passenger compartments of
vehicles on hot days. The high temperatures could adversely affect the lubricants and
sealants. A vehicles trunk, a gun cabinet or a closet is preferable. Never leave the
scope where direct sunlight can enter either the objective or the eyepiece lens.
Damage may result from the concentration (burning glass effect) of the suns rays.
